Have been wearing Ariels for over 15 years. My sad, flat feet have not improved in that time, but they still find pure joy when I wear these shoes! Honestly, I don?t know what I would do without them. My knees, hips, and back immediately know the difference when I put these on. Wear them almost every day.

I am on my 3rd pair of Ariel 18. They offer me the support I need and are comfortably cushioned. They help stabilize my feet which also helps reduce the pain from arthritic knees.

I?ve only been running for less than 2 years. Wore these for my first half marathon in May 2019. I have arthritis in my ankles and knees and these help give me the support/cushion I need on days when it?s acting up more than usual.

I love these shoes. I already had a pair and they are the most comfortable athletic shoes I have ever worn. The support system is wonderful. I had a knee replacement a few years ago and arthritis and have trouble.walking.

Very comfortable right out of the box . Nice support as well . Bought these after wearing On’s and find these to be better suited for runs on the greenway .

Wonderful shoe, very comfortable. I did need to order the extra wide to get the forefoot space I need but that gave the perfect fit.

Most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. They have added support and extra room in the toes. I walk 5-6 miles a day. These are the first shoes I've owned where the bottoms of my feet don't burn the last mile of my walk. Highly recommend.

I?ve worn Ariels for over 15 years because of excessive pronation. This is the first design that has not caused pressure over the little toe. I love the soft sides. I have even ordered extra pairs of backups. Don?t change the design.

Great looking shoe. Superb arch support. It did run slightly smaller than my typical fit in a new balance shoe. Not crazy about this type of lace as it snags easily on hang nails etc. overall, a great shoe.

A good friend of mine recommended your brand of shoe. I was happy and grateful to see that you offered a wider toe box if I desired it. (I did!) and now, Icouldn't be more pleased. The last thing I want to think about when I am on my feet is my feet! My new shoes are so comfortable. Every step is a joy. I am so happy that you were recommended .

I have worn the Ghosts for years, but these are so much better for my feet. I have bunions, so I got the wide width. I thought they ran a half size bigger then what I normally wear, but maybe that's just me. So happy I changed up from the Ghosts!!!

We need more of a choice in colors. They are extremely comfortable and wear well. It was my Doctor's recommendation To wear Ariel after foot surgery. I still continue wearing them.

Flat footed (totally) on one foot and a bad ankle. This is the only shoe I can walk in for short or long distances- a very stable and supportive shoe. Wish it was a lighter shoe though.

Love them. They are my everyday shoes...not a runner, but they give me the support I need. I do take daily walks and find my feet don't hurt afterwards...

The feel great. They hold up my arch. I have had three reconstructive foot and ankle surgeries, and aside from prescription shoes with orthotics, Brooks Aerial is the ONLY shoe that is good enough/comparable. It's a SERIOUS motion stability shoe.

I have runners knee, plantar fasciitis, pronate, and am slightly pigeon-toed all in one leg. AND I'm only 32yo! These shoes are AMAZING! Despite all of those things these shoes make it possible for me to run without pain or injury. I'd been an avid Brooks Ariel wearer for years then switched to Asics when I developed plantar fasciitis. After everything was healed up, I figured I'd go back to Brooks Ariel as a test and my feet felt EVEN BETTER once I got back in these.
